  • The Defence Investment Plan: Has Starmer Laid a Trap for Burnham?
    Jul 2 2026

    This week, we unpick the government’s long-awaitied Defence Investment Plan (DIP) and ask very simply: is it enough?


    Joining Chris Pleasance for a deep dive into the document is the Daily Mail’s Defence Editor Mark Nicol, who’s been pouring over the details since Keir Starmer unveiled it on Tuesday.

  • Beckham vs Beckham: The Next Chapter
    Jun 25 2026

    David Beckham was handed a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this month, flanked by Victoria, Tom Cruise and three of his four children. The fourth, Brooklyn, was nowhere to be seen. Six months on from the explosive Instagram statement that tore the lid off the family's private war, the rift is only getting messier, with a "choreographed" doorstep visit from sister Harper and a reported £750,000 DoorDash advert that pokes fun at Brooklyn's own estrangement.


    Daily Mail Showbusiness Editor Katie Hind joins Jamie East on Deep Dive to unpack the latest chapter in Britain's unofficial Royal Family saga and ask where it goes from here.

  • Iran's Exiled Crown Prince: The Iranian People Feel Betrayed by Trump's Deal
    Jun 19 2026

    After American and Israeli airstrikes killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in February, many wondered whether Iran's theocratic regime was finally facing collapse. That came after tens of thousands of protesters had died earlier in the year rising up against the regime. But four months later, the US has signed an interim peace deal extending the ceasefire between the two countries. That deal has drawn criticism from Donald Trump's Republican Party and Reza Pahlavi - the son of the last Shah who the ayatollahs deposed in order to take power, forcing him into exile for the last 46 years.


    In this episode, the Mail's Middle East correspondent Natalie Lisbona sits down with Mr. Pahlavi to discuss what the deal means for ordinary Iranians. Pahlavi argues the regime cannot be reformed, only replaced, and warns that rewarding it with sanctions relief and billions in unfrozen funds provides a financial lifeline that will simply fuel its proxies abroad while executions and repression continue at home.
